Cycle my input please [duplicate]

Question

Input

A string s of printable ASCII characters, newlines, and spaces (0x20 ( ) to 0x7E (~)), and a non-negative integer n.

Challenge

To write a program that outputs either another program, or s depending on n. If n = 1, Then your code should output code which outputs s. If n = 2, Your code should output code which outputs code which outputs s and so on.

All outputted code should be in the same language as the language of the original submission.

Test Cases

Format: s, n -> output Assuming your submission is written in JavaScript:

No cycles, 0 -> No cycles
Hello, 1 -> console.log("Hello");
Cycle!, 3 -> console.log("console.log(\"console.log(\\\"Cycle!\\\")\")");
:), 3 -> console.log("console.log('console.log(`:)`)')");

Scoring

This is code-golf, so aim for shortest code in bytes.

Additional Rules

• I/O format is flexible
• Default rules and standard loopholes apply.
• The output of your submission must be valid.
• You can use any language, even if it was created after this challenge, as long as it wasn't created for the purpose of this challenge
• This isn't a polyglot challenge. A JavaScript submission shouldn't output Ruby code.
• Input is guaranteed to be valid as defined in the Input section

Validation

Here's a quick tip to test your answers:
For n=0, output=s
For n=1, eval(output)=s
For n=2, eval(eval(output))=s
Where n and s are inputs

R, 43 bytes

f=function(s,n)"if"(n,function()f(s,n-1),s)

Returns a zero-argument function that recursively calls f with n set to n-1. n successive function applications returns s.

Takes string as input, prepends as many I as stated in the first argument.

Answer 3

Google Sheets, 96 bytes

=Join("",If(B1,ArrayFormula("="&Rept("""",2^(Row(Offset(A1,0,0,B1))-1))),),A1,Rept("""",2^B1-1))

Inputs are in cells A1 (s) and B1 (n).

^{(Columns D, E, and F show the result if you copy the output from the column to its left and input it as a formula.)}

---

The formula concatenates 3 pieces into a single string. The first piece is the most complicated.

If(B1,ArrayFormula("="&Rept("""",2^(Row(Offset(A1,0,0,B1))-1))),)

If If statement drops the prefix if n=0 so you end up with No cycles instead of ="No cycles. The ArrayFormula creates an array of equal signs followed by some number quotes. That number is 2^(x-1) where x counts up from 1 to n thanks to the Row(Offset(~)) combination.

The next piece (A1) adds in s and the final piece (Rept("""",2^B1-1)) adds in 2^n-1 quotes at the end.

function($s,$n){while($n--)$s='echo'.var_export($s,1).';';return $s;}

From the documentation about var_export:

var_export — Outputs or returns a parsable string representation of a variable

This function calls var_export prepends echo and appends ; $n times.

Answer 8

PHP, 12+1 bytes, not competing

plain text is a valid PHP program, but, if N is not 0, this fails for text containing <? with short tags enabled and for text containing <?php or <?= in any case:

<?=$argv[1];

call with php -R '<code>' '<string>' <n>; call the output with php -R '<code>'
